it says that my game is up to date so does that mean the patch is installed?
Yes.
@sarah:
ive had thatt happen too!! like i got halfway through my career without saving and it exits with no message or anything just ends. but other than that works fine and it hasnt happened in a few days.
yeah ):
should i return it and get a new one?
or would that not make a difference..
You can go and get another one. Who knows, that just might make a difference.
okay thanks for the help!
my game has the authorization code problem but when i looked at the game updates it says it is up to date…what is the problem???
Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game?
I downloaded the patch and it broke my copy of the Sims 3. Unfortunately up until that point, my game *was* working perfectly, it’s now crashing just after the intro movie (before it even gets to a menu).
sucks, huh?
my PC is far above minimum specs, my drivers are up to date. no reply from EA support so far, but I massively regret having set it to auto install patches.
Uninstall the game and it will take the patch off.
trying to load Sims3 on PC- computer meets all EA sys req but the error message I get (whether using AutoRun or manually starting setup) is “5001 : ox80070002″. EA support was useless, saying it’s a Windows problem.
Thoughts? Thanks!
Try uninstalling then reinstalling the game.
where do i download it????plz!!!im stupid!
Its under updates in your Sims 3 Launcher.
Well I have in Czech language and upadates is Aktualizace Hry but i have nothing under that.
Oh ok.
So what should I do pls?
wow, how is the size? Is it big?
The refrigerator fix, is that when we want to clean up the leftovers but the option wont appear?
@sarah, maybe your pc temperature is too high, or the battery is low if u are using laptop.
heyy! Im 13 and not quite sure how to find, and download this patch. also, my graphics are not good and the normal time (not sped up) is still horribly slow. Please help!
Its under Game Updates when you first load up the game and The Sims 3 Launcher appears.
it says my game is up to date, yet it still crashes whenever i go into create a sim.
also, when im at a community lot, theres always this black thing, i dont really know how to describe it but it blocks my view. it usually covers about half the screen.
i was thinking about going back to best buy and exchanging my game, do you think a new game would make a difference? if not how can i solve this??
Could be your graphics card. Or your computer entirely. What kind of computer do you have?
I’m not into the Sims at all but my little cousin loves it, it’s like a cult with her, to each it’s own. Nice blog.
I will play this game for a very loooong time.
the speed improvement is GREAT.
It sucks that the game just completely shut down while i was playing it (how rude right?)
its the third time it shut down on me.
i dont get it
other than that it works perfectly fine minus a few wierd happenings like – taking forever to sign an autograph
is it the pathing that does this? is swear it takes like 45 sim minutes to go to the sim that wants it to be signed.
